彩票行业的市场竞争及其经济后果

我国的彩票是以慈善的名义开展的社会事业,面向全国民众募集资金,其社会福利效应的好坏是关乎彩票业可持续发展的根本问题。通过调查分析彩票行业的竞争方式、竞争手段以及竞争效果,我们发现彩票行业的市场竞争并没有降低发行成本,也没有为社会福利带来正改进,反而造就了新的既得利益和弱势群体。为此财政部门应高度重视,通过制定规则和严格监管来解决这些问题。

Market Competition of the Lottery Industry

In China,lottery is a business launched in the name of charity to raise funds from the public across the country.Whether the social welfare effect is positive or negative is a fundamental issue deciding the sustainable development of the lottery business.By analyzing the competitive patterns,means and effects of the lottery business,it is found that the market competition of the lottery business does not reduce the issuing cost,nor bring any positive improvement to the social welfare.On the contrary,this business has created a new vested interest group and a puny group.Therefore,the financial departments should pay close attention to these problems and try to solve them by formulating regulations and strengthening supervision.
